gsmd only gives us operator name, signal strength and connection status. We cannot currently get band, but the app now shows Cell ID so we might be able to tell when we switch towers. gpsd didn't give me what I needed, so the program watches /dev/nmeaNP instead. You will need to launch gllin manually.

Give it a shot and give me feedback. Version 0.9 is available as [http://sagacis.doesntexist.com/projects/openmoko-dashboard_0.11_src.tar.gz source tarball] and as [http://sagacis.doesntexist.com/projects/openmoko-dashboard_0.11_armv4t.ipk ipk installer]. --[[User:Sagacis|Sagacis]] 06:52, 28 January 2008 (CET)

Give it a shot and give me feedback. Version 0.13 is available as [http://sagacis.doesntexist.com/projects/openmoko-dashboard_0.13_src.tar.gz source tarball] and as [http://sagacis.doesntexist.com/projects/openmoko-dashboard_0.13_armv4t.ipk ipk installer]. --[[User:Sagacis|Sagacis]] 03:35, 8 March 2008 (CET)

Version 0.13 reminds you to start gllin and doesn't segfault.

I added a git repository for the code at http://sagacis.doesntexist.com/projects/mokoprojects.git --[[User:Sagacis|Sagacis]] 06:19, 6 March 2008 (CET)

This tool, [[Openmoko-debugtool]], can be used to make it easier to control the phone when console is difficult to use. For example, in a car with a USB charger, the fast charge mode can be enabled at the touch of a button.--[[User:Jmichel|Jmichel]] 13:57, 17 March 2008 (CET)

Usage notes:

+

* gllin MUST be started manually (execute "gllin" from terminal)

+

* Log file is /home/root/dashboard.log
